76ers(48-23) @ Bulls(34-37) Preview 76ers' Starting Five:

Maxey G

Bulls' Starting Five:

Referees:

Sixers open the game on a 17 - 0 run. Lead 19 - 1 with 7:47 left in the 1st.

Sixers were up by 22 at one point, but end the 1st quarter with a 13 pt lead.

76ers go into halftime with a 28 pt lead.

Needless to say, they probably shouldn't have played a gimpy Harden last game.

Sixers shot a blistering 12 of 22 from 3pt range with Maxey going 4 - 5.

Would like to see the Sixers attack the basket more and force the Bulls to foul.

So far, they've launched 3 treys on their first 4 possessions.

Embiid sits out the entire 3rd quarter, but Sixers manage to maintain a 20pt lead despite shooting 2 of 10 from the 3pt line.

It's Furk time.

I think Embiid is injured (leg)

edit - not serious

Embiid - mild right calf tightness - expected to play Friday

Damn impressive win.

Just shows how stupid it was to play Harden on Monday. He cost them that win with his 2-14 and the TOs. They win easily with Milton taking those minutes and scoring 8-10pts.

Cost them that #2 spot, for now, as well as their winning streak.
